What An Idiot!

"The way the rules are written for the Sea, there usually requires a screw-up by BOTH vessels for a vessel on vessel accident to occur. In the instance we have been debating, Boat B did in fact have enough distance as there was no collision."

Missing the overtaken boat by a mere 20' is not indicative of having provided enough distance. That's too darn close and falls in the realm of a luck close call.

My point in this thread all along has been that the overtaking vessel did not provide enough distance between the two boats.
